    Scherzer going to come down to a desperate team with a shitload of prospect capital. I don’t want the Astros to be desperate and they don’t have a ton of prospects. Bring all comers, I feel good about their team as-is.

    He doesn’t want to be here anyway. Click will make something happen. I really want Charlie Morton. Jon Gray to me is the guy that has a lot of upside in Storm’s system.

    Call it what you want but their 2 aces vs our B+ rotation doesn't bode well for me...

    Hope all the west coast guys drag this out allowing us to work a deal on what we really want/need without LA or SD effing it up.

    Agreed ... But that Scherzer mfer a bad boy!... And our bats go stagnant sometimes at the wrong time... Smart Baserunning will be huge in a series like that

    Beyond Greinke and McCullers, I'm not super confident in anyone else. Only need 2 more starters but all options are too inconsistent for me to feel comfortable.

    Bring 'em on. Will make beating them that much sweeter.

    Also, the way big market contenders are shaking out . . . Correa's contract is looking cheaper next year.

    I'd give him 25m a year with incentives up to 30m a year. He says it's up to the Astros and show him love and at the same time he only cares about his money. If this wasn't a contract year he would have already been on the dl at least once. Show some loyalty Correa or gtf outta town. I'm sure with what Correa is demanding we can get two players, each almost as good and likely healthier.

    That’s it? That’s ****ing it?!

    **** LA.

    Double A outfielder Donovan Casey also would be part of the package, sources say.

    That's 2 top 70 prospects for a rental, and a guy with one year left.

    We couldn't match that if we wanted to.
